Men's Platinum Chatham Created Emerald 3 Ct. Ring

"These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of."-George Eliot

Carroll Chatham is recognized globally as the leader of created gemstones. Using the same natural elements and even some of the natural gemstones, the proper temp, pressure and chemical properties, then nature takes over a 10 - 14 month growth cycle, empowered him to grow gems possessing the same physical and optical properties of mined gems. His discovery remains a guarded secret. Called synthetic; however, the definition of this term and the official gemological definition of a created gem requires the stone to be identical to the natural one. They strive for the highest quality, yet since nature is responsible for the crystal growth, some inclusions may be present and serve to add to the natural in color and clarity.

The green of Emerald is representative of life and springtime. In ancient Rome, it symbolized the beauty and love of the goddess Venus. Perhaps this is why Emerald is the gem chosen by love birds to celebrate their 20th, 35th or 55th wedding anniversaries. Emerald is the birthstone for those born in May and under the sign of Virgo.

Platinum is a precious metal found in very few places around the world, thus it is 30 times more rare than gold. Usually 95 percent pure (by comparison 18 karat gold is 75 percent pure), platinum never fades or tarnishes and keeps its natural white color for a lifetime. Platinum is so pure, it is naturally hypoallergenic and ideal for those with sensitive skin.

The rising price of platinum makes this, quite simply, a great investment all around.
